are of little value The Pacific coast is entirely
destitute of guns and Notifications. These
facts show one Of two things-cithcr that the

that there is widespread confidence that this
Nation is to continue in pcaccablc relations

little the reception accorded to Lieutenant
governor Robertson and Speaker Sayre at the
meeting held there on the 18th inst 1t says
the Temple auditorium was filled, and that
Speaker Sayre poured thot shot into the
Democracy from the start" Colonel Robert
son was introduced and was accorded fatter-
ing reception. He has warm place in the
hearts Of his Republican friends and he
stirred his admirers to applause by declaring
that the Democratic party was organized to
retard the march of civilization and block the
wheels of progress" It adds that "the
Colonel made an honest and forcible exposi-
ton Of his rights, and in pretty just style
denounced the acts that deprived him of the
place to which he was honorably chosen by
the people. After the meeting the
Morton Club rendered Colonel Robertson and
his guests a reception at their parlors, and
the Colonel has every reason to be proud OF
the manner in which he was greeted by his
Republican friends"

Hewitt said to Democrats who sought to advise
him that he would appoint no politician and no

THE order of the War Department discon-
tinuing the firing of morning and evening sa-
lutes at military posts takes in Indianapolis,
and ends one of our booms. The morning
and evening gun at the Arsenal will soon be
heard no more. Its peremptory thunder will
no longer rouse the morning sleeper with I'M
failing regularity nor its resounding echo
remind him that the sun has finished its
days work. Twice day for many years it
has spoken in authoritative tones, louder than
town clock and more emphatic than sun
dial, to tell the time of day. It's message was
so simple that the wayfaring man, though
partially deaf, need not err therein. Any
person could understand it who had can
non ear. 1t was more reliable than a clock,
for it was never fast nor slow, never ran down
nor got out of order. We shall miss it. So will

have nothing to do but run up the flag morn
ings. Thank heaven, our flag is still there.

THE Bunker Hill Press is edited by Mr.
John ". OHara, the Democratic postmaster
of that town, and who came within a few
votes Of being nominated last fall for joint
Representative from Miami and Cass coun-
ties In a recent issue of his paper he says:
at may be unpopular with certain class
of Democrats to indorse the speeches made
by Judge Roberts, of Dearborn county, in
the Indiana Legislature, few days since
but, nevertheless, we believe the Judge who
is good Democrat, was actuated by pure
and honest motives, and that he had right
and the will of the people, previously ex-
pressed, on his side. The action of the
Indiana Senate in rejecting man who was
legally and honestly elected to the position of
Acknowledgements, is disgrace to the
State and an insult to the voters of both
political parties. The people, in whom all
power is vested, had the right to decide and
did decide, who should fill the vacancy made

year from next November, when the Demo

WE copy in this issue an article from the
Vinton Qa.) Observer, In reply to brutal
and indecent attack upon Union soldiers and
the Grand Army of the Republic by the
Chicago Times, growing out of the re-
gently vetoed pension bill. The editor of
che Observer is Mr.. S. A. Marine, a
brother of Rev. DR.. Marine, of this State, and
he writes with an eloquent forcibless that in
dictates family strain. He was himself a
soldier, and left his right leg on the field of
battle. He thus has right to speak for the
soldiers who were so maligned by the Chicago
Times. No soldier who reads the article but
will feel under obligations to Comrade Marine
for the manner in which he resents the cow
ardly insults heaped upon them by paper
that was notorious during the war for its SYM
athy with rebellion.

BROOKLYN people have resolved to erect a
statue of Henry Ward Beecher in that city,
and also to establish 'Beecher Free Library
for the Common People" Several thousand
dollars have already been subscribed towards
each of these objects. In thus honoring the
memory of the man for SO many years its
most distinguished citizen, Brooklyn also hon
ors itself; but Beecher did not belong only to
the City of Churches, and tributes Of regard
should not be confined to that place alone. In
indianapolis, for instance, where his minis.
terial career began, memorial to his name
might be appropriately established.

THE MONUMENT COMMISSIONERS.

Governor Gray has shown excellent judg-
ment and discrimination in recent execu-
tive appoint and it is to be hoped he
will exercise the same qualities in appointing
commissioners under the soldiers monument
law. There is opportunity for a great honor
or great scandal, according to the manner
in which the purpose of the law is carried out.
If executed in the spirit in which it was con-
telligent regard for historic and artistic re-
suits, we shall have monument that will
honor the dead, and the living, as well. If
the munifcent appropriation is squandered,
wasted or expended for a meaningless pile
or an artistic naonstrosity, it were far better
that a soldiers monument had never been
undertaken. Which of these results is to
happen will depend very largely on the COM
| missioners. It follows that they should be
selected with great care, and with an eye
| solely to their fitness and capacity for the pc
| culiar work to be devolved on them. Party
politics, personal feelings, geographical con-
siderations, local influence must all yield to
the paramount consideration of getting the
best men for the work. They should be in
full sympathy with the cause for which the
soldiers fought in order that they may appre-
ciate the object and motive of the movement.
They should be careful, honest painstaking
and economical, in order that not a dollar OF
the appropriation may be improperly ex-
pended. They should have at least some
ideas in regard to monumental art, that they
may be able to judge Of plans, and to select
one that will satisfy at once the popular and
the artistic judgment Of this and future gen
erations. 1t may not be easy to find five mer
possessing all these qualities, but the Gov
ernor should try hard to do so. The degree
of his success will pretty accurately measure
the success or failure Of the whole enterprise
